Nickerson Field is an outdoor athletic stadium in the Northeastern United States, on the campus of Boston University in Boston, Massachusetts. It is located on the site of Braves Field, the former home ballpark of the Boston Braves, a major league baseball team in the National League; the franchise relocated to Milwaukee in March 1953,. Parts of Braves Field, such as the entry gate and right-field pavilion, remain as portions of the current stadium. The old Braves Field ticket office also remains, now used by the Boston University police department.The stadium is now owned by Boston University, and is the home field for some of its Terriers athletics programs, including soccer and lacrosse. It was also the home of the BU football team until the program was discontinued, following the 1997 season.From the mid-1980s to 1995, the stadium hosted the New England Scholastic Band Association's marching band field show championships.
Walter Brown Arena is a 3,806-seat multi-purpose arena in Boston, Massachusetts. It is home to the Boston University Terriers women's ice hockey team and hosted the men's team before they moved to Agganis Arena. It hosted the first rounds of the 2003 and 2004 America East Conference men's basketball tournaments. It is named in honor of Walter A. Brown, the original owner of the Boston Celtics, former president of the Boston Bruins and second manager of the Boston Garden (after his father). It is also the practice rink for the 2010 National Champion Boston University figure skating team. The arena is part of the Harold Case Physical Education Center, which includes Case Gym directly above the arena, as well as the former home of student recreation before the opening of the John Hancock Student Village. The building lies in the general area of the left field pavilion seats at the former Braves Field, whose right field pavilion and a portion of the field have been converted to neighboring Nickerson Field.While it is known as the home of the four men's hockey NCAA championships, one of its most famous (and tragic) events was in October 1995, when Travis Roy, a 20-year-old freshman hockey player, lost his balance attempting to make a check eleven seconds into his first collegiate hockey shift versus North Dakota, breaking his neck at the fourth vertebra and paralyzing him from the neck down. His jersey number, 24, is now retired by the hockey team.
The Paradise Rock Club is a 933-capacity music venue located in Boston, Massachusetts. Because of its relatively small size, it appeals to top local rock and alternative performers as well as American bands visiting Boston for the first time . The venue accommodates small music festivals and non music related events. The Paradise is located on the edge of Boston University's campus and draws a student-based crowd. Most shows have an age requirement of eighteen or older.HistoryThe Paradise Rock Club opened as the Paradise Theater on September 22, 1977. It was owned by Don Law Company, a Boston music giant that also controlled the Boston Garden and the Cape Cod Coliseum. Don Law was a former BU student who got his start working as a promoter for the Boston band The Remains. Identifying Boston's large student population as a key music market, Law and colleague Frank Barsalona began purchasing Boston venues to capitalize on the strong local music scene and willing audience.The venue transferred hands to Live Nation, but was purchased back by Don Law and David Mugar in 2009. After the purchase, Paradise was owned by Don Law, Declan Mehigan and Joe Dunne. It is now owned by Law, Mehigan, Dunne and Mugar. Though the Don Law Company is now Crossroads Presents, they are still prominent players in the Boston music scene and own The Paradise, the Orpheum Theater, House of Blues Boston, and the Brighton Music Hall in partnership with Live Nation.
